I know a few have installed an Android Auto / Carplay capable retrofit to the 2015.5 and on vehicles, but has anyone installed one in an earlier model year? Talking 2011 through early 2015?
I had a rental a few days last week and it came with Android Auto, being able to just plug my phone in and respond to messages via voice, use Google maps etc. reminded me how much I miss having it as an option. Started looking at what is available on aliexpress, but my concern is that without any real knowledge of anyone using one of those units, how reliable are they, I don't want to go spending $400+ on something that ends up being junk.
Here are a few I have come across...
With that one though, there is no split for early 2015 and late 2015. They have options for 2011 - 2014 and 2015 - 2017, as we all know, the 2015.5 is different, so I would assume a 2014 would work, but it's an expensive and possibly frustrating gamble if you have to return the unit.
This second one looks decent, but $720, is it worth the premium over the one above:
It specifically says it works with all factory functions though, including the back up cam.
Finally, this one is available but something about it looks off.
There are a ton of others on there as well, problem is knowing which are reliable and which are garbage.
Anyone installed one? How did it go? Which did you use?
